All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan cover) Lyrics
There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they
Drink my wine
There plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it's worth
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through all that, yes we have
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late
And all along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women, all the women
All the women came and went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl, la la la
Two riders, two riders approaching
The wind began to howl
The thief he take
My money take
The thief he take
My money take
Am I insane
Auf wiedersehen
Am I insane
The thief is safe
No reason to get excited
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Drink my wine
There plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it's worth
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late
Princes kept the view
While all the women, all the women
All the women came and went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl, la la la
Two riders, two riders approaching
The wind began to howl
My money take
The thief he take
My money take
Auf wiedersehen
Am I insane
The thief is safe

Great song dave redid version from B. Dylan its unreal in concert
This is one of the awesomest songs ever done. It is probably one of the greatest songs ever. I could hear it over and over again.
Dave's version is the best!! Especially the beginning! With the bass in it. I could listen to that forever!
dude this is the best cover ever done, i love how they improv in concerts to make it sound different everytime
nerdythewall- quit looking up songs by bands you don't like, it only shows how lame you are. Leave us dave fans alone.
i'm a dave fan but i'm also a hendrix fan.. i don't know that i could agree with the hendrix version being better.. hendrix couldn't sing like dave can.. dave's singin is what makes his version truly great... that's the way i feel about it anyway
Oh man. I always thought this song was cool, but never did I realize how awesome it was until I heard it in concert the other night. The sheer emotion Dave and the band puts into this song is amazing. This one of my fav. DMB songs. By the way, Nerdythewall, lay off the Dave fans were not hurtin anyone.
definitely the best cover ever done, I had the privilege of hearing them play this in concert over 12 times.
they havent played it at all really in the spring and summer - which sucks cuz i caught em twice over that time
This is by FAR the best version ever. It beats hendrix and dylan.
